Top 10 uses of data in schools
1. Data can uncover problems that might otherwise remain invisible.
2. Data can convince people of the need for change.
3. Data can confirm or discredit assumptions about students and school practices.
4. Data can get to the root cause of problems, pinpoint areas where change is most needed, and guide resource allocation.
5. Data can help schools evaluate program effectiveness and keep the focus on student learning results.
6. Data can provide feedback that teachers and administrators need to keep going and stay on course.
7. Data can prevent over-reliance on standardized tests.
8. Data can prevent one-size-fits-all and quick solutions.
9. Data can give schools the ability to respond to accountability questions.
